good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today. the conservatives are crushed in two big by—election defeats. they have large majorities wiped out as they lose somerton and frome to the lib dems and selby and ainsty to labour. for too long conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. and today that changes. tonight has been a stunning and historic— tonight has been a stunning and historic victory for the liberal democrats. the result in oxbridge softens the blow for the conservatives. but a

thumping elsewhere raises big questions for the prime minister. also this morning. judges in cyprus are due to deliver their verdict in the murder trial of david hunter, a british pensioner accused of murdering his wife. the uk's water industry is under fire again as one of the most polluting companies is accused of restricting access for shareholders to its own annual general meeting. i'll be asking why. good morning from old trafford, which yesterday saw a rare day of dominance from one of the two ashes sides. a stunning innings from zak crawley gave england a lead of 67 over australia who looked beaten but they might have the weather on their side on day three. early sunshine around and in places sunny spells but also scattered showers before things turn wet and windy into the weekend. i have the

forecast throughout the programme. good morning. it's friday, the zistjuly. our main story. the conservatives have suffered two huge by—election defeats overnight, losing somerton and frome to the liberal democrats, and selby and ainsty to labour. there was one positive for rishi sunak and his party as they held on to uxbridge and south ruislip by the slimmest of margins. our political correspondent alex forsyth has the story of the night. i hereby declare that kier mather is duly elected. cheering the jubilation was obvious. in the early hours of this morning, this was the moment labour overturned a conservative majority of more than 20,000 to win in selby and ainsty, something the party has never done before. the people of selby and ainsty have sent a clear message. for too long, conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. and, today, that changes.

it's time for a fresh start. earlier, the lib dems were celebrating in somerton and frome. another huge victory for them in a seat that had been conservative. their candidate saying it showed her party was back in the west country. lifelong conservative voters have today voted liberal democrat for the first time. thank you for putting your trust in me to deliver for you. i will not let you down. but look at this, in the west london seat of uxbridge in south ruislip, it went down to the wire. votes had to be re—counted before it was announced the conservatives had clung on. and i hereby declare that the said steve tuckwell is duly elected. cheering perhaps a surprise for somei boris johnson's former seat. the tories put their victory down to their campaign against the labour mayor of london's

plan to expand the ultra low emission zone where drivers are charged if vehicles don't meet certain standards. sadiq khan has lost to labour this election in his... cheering and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost them this election. so now time for the parties and pundits to analyse what these results say about the big political picture. yes, the conservatives managed to stem the outgoing tide from which they are seemingly suffering in uxbridge, but it seems to me there is little gainsaying the fact that the tide is still a long way out for the conservatives and they still have an awful long way to go before they look as though they might have a chance of being able to retain power. the campaigns ahead of these

by—elections were hard—fought. the results give each party a victory, but leave some big questions, too, about who is really on the path to power ahead of the next general election. we will make sense of what we have heard overnight with correspondence in all three by—election areas and will speak to them throughout the morning. first to selby. david wallace lockhart. david, this is a result that labour will be really proud of, isn't it? it is. the conservatives went into this by—election with a cushion of 20,000 plus majority. that is now a 4000 labour majority so a huge win for them, the biggest majority labour has ever overturned in a by—election. the last time labour had swings of this size was in the run—up to the 1997 general election and we all remember what happened

there with labour getting a big majority out of that. in a general election context, this is not the type of seat labour has to win to get a majority. it is not a key target. this by—election happened because nigel adams, the former conservative mp, a close ally of borisjohnson, conservative mp, a close ally of boris johnson, stood conservative mp, a close ally of borisjohnson, stood down. there was talkie would go to the house of lords as part of borisjohnson's resignation honours which did not happen and he decided to leave. tory mps, there are some who think it is a factor. the fact he stood down mid parliament, wanting to give the conservatives a kicking due to that. rishi sunak�*s constituency is up the road and he will hope that is the case and it is not indicative of a broader trend, case and it is not indicative of a broadertrend, because case and it is not indicative of a broader trend, because if the conservatives lose seats like this in a general election context, that could be very bad indeed for them. the new mp, keir mather, the labour

mp heading to westminster at 25. he will be known as the baby of the house, the youngest member of parliament. house, the youngest member of parliament-— correspondentjenny kumah is in frome. how much of a surprise was this for the liberal democrats? this how much of a surprise was this for the liberal democrats?— the liberal democrats? this was an emhatic the liberal democrats? this was an emphatic win. _ the liberal democrats? this was an emphatic win, huge _ the liberal democrats? this was an emphatic win, huge swing. - the liberal democrats? this was an emphatic win, huge swing. 3096, i emphatic win, huge swing. 30%, almost the same kind of swing in tiverton last year. the fourth by—election the lib dems have won this parliament. this was widely predicted. what was surprising last night was how early the lib dems came out to claim victory. it was before midnight when a lib dems source issued this statement. it said, we have notjust won, we have romped home. the conservative vote is in freefall. the conservatives did not dispute this. a senior

conservative councillor at the count went on to blame the local situation, saying that having an mp missing in action, in his words, facing allegations, was a problem and that was happening against a difficult national picture for the party. forthe difficult national picture for the party. for the lib dems, further signs of recovery in their former heartland of the southwest. recently they took control of the council, took control of the conservative council and have the historic win in tiverton and homerton. in her by—election victory speech, the new lib dems mps said, this is a stunning, historic win and the lib dems were back in the west country. thank you. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley is in uxbridge. nick, it's been a disappointing night for the conservatives overall, even though they held the seat where you are?

good morning. yes. ithink labour were pretty confident here. chatting to people yesterday. i think they thought they would win in boris johnson's old stomping ground so in that sense, the conservative victory here is a bit of a surprise. i think we can maybe see it slightly differently to jenny and david and what they were talking about because there was one issue that came up a lot. it was the ability to drive your car. the ulez zone in london where you have to pay every time you move your car, if it is not eco—friendly, that dominated the conservative campaign. they made it front and centre. the message we were getting from the new mp for uxbridge, steve tuckwell, the conservative, is that he thinks it was the ulez issue that was the one

that got him over the line. it softens the blow overnight for the conservatives, but i do not think we should necessarily see it in the same way as we see the broader political picture in the uk. what same way as we see the broader political picture in the uk. what is our political picture in the uk. what is your assessment _ political picture in the uk. what is your assessment overall - political picture in the uk. what is your assessment overall of - political picture in the uk. what is your assessment overall of what l political picture in the uk. what is i your assessment overall of what has transpired overnight? there will be claim and counterclaim throughout the morning, each party giving their assessment of what these figures mean. what do you make of it? the icture mean. what do you make of it? the picture this — mean. what do you make of it? tue: picture this morning mean. what do you make of it? tte: picture this morning is more complicated than i think a lot of people expected it to be. a lot of people expected it to be. a lot of people thought rishi sunak would be the first prime minister in 50 years to lose three by—elections in one day, so he will look at the result here and every time you hear conservatives over the next days, they will point to uxbridge to say things are not as bad as they look. i think they probably are. if you look at places like selby, where

labour were not even prioritising for the general election before today, that is a colossal majority today, that is a colossal majority to lose. that will be really worrying for tories. somerton and frome, that is a part of the country where the conservatives had a colossal majority, winning by a country mile in 2019. so results like that will really worry the prime minister. i think the broad picture politically is still one that suggests conservatives are shedding constituencies they won comfortably in 2019. rishi sunak, although he might have stabilised government a bit, we are not covering scandals every morning like maybe we were this time last year, but he has failed to change the political weather. but he has failed to change the politicalweather. in but he has failed to change the political weather. in that sense, it is a thumping for the conservative party. is a thumping for the conservative

pa . . ., party. thanks. on the programme we will hear from — party. thanks. on the programme we will hear from the _ party. thanks. on the programme we will hear from the conservatives, - will hear from the conservatives, labour and the liberal democrats. the former ukip leader nigel farage says he will continue to push for answers about why his bank account was closed, after revieving account was closed, after receiving an apology from the chief executive of natwest. hannah's here with the latest on this dispute. this is a story about nigel farage and his bank that has now developed to have consequences for consumers across the country. it started when nigel farage called out his bank publicly for closing his account, saying he'd been given no reason. he went on to ask them to hand over documents relating to the decision — when they came back, the documents described the former brexit party leader, among other things, as holding "xenophobic, chauvinistic and racist views". the bank in question, coutts, is owned by natwest group. its head has now apologised to mr farage, describing the comments as deeply inappropriate and saying that they don't reflect the company's view.

nigel farage welcomed the apology but added that the boss, dame alison rose, should now be questioned by mps. it is always good to get an apology, particularly from somebody running a bank with 19 million customers, so thank you for the apology. but it does feel ever so slightly forced. the treasury made her do this, i have no doubt about that. i do want to say that the rapid reaction we've had from the british government is superb. full marks to andrew griffith, the city minister. it also felt a bit like 'not me, guv'. the apology from dame alison came after the government got involved — it announced new plans to force all banks to explain account closures. dame alison said that as well as apologising to mr farage, she is commissioning a full review of the coutts' processes, amid reports that other customers are now starting to ask what information the bank holds about them. the united states has confirmed that ukraine is using us cluster bombs against russian forces

in the country. the white house said feedback suggested they were proving effective against russian defensive positions. cluster bombs scatter multiple bomblets and are banned by more than 100 states due to their threat to civilians. holidaymakers heading to the port of dover are being warned they could be waiting two—and—a—half hours to get through border control this weekend, as the school summer holidays begin. passengers travelling between friday and sunday are being asked to arrive up to three hours before sailings, and to have plenty of food and drinks. the proportion of students in england awarded first—class degrees has fallen for the first time in more than a decade. the office for students says almost a third achieved top grades in the 2021—2022 year — a drop of 4.6% from the year before. senior doctors in england will walk out for a second day as part of their strike over pay. 0nly emergency care and a small amount of routine work will be provided.

the british medical association has called the government's 6% wage offer derisory. large parts of southern europe are still dealing with very high temperatures and firefighters in greece are battling wildfires raging around athens. 0ur reporter azadeh moshiri is in greece. ican i can see behind you how bright it is. it implies how warm it is. absolutely. it is really early here. people in greece have had a difficult week, very difficult. the prime minister has said hard times are not over yet. it is because forecasters expect temperatures to go forecasters expect temperatures to 9° up forecasters expect temperatures to go up to 45 celsius in some parts. also, officials warn there is a high risk of fires today, even though they have battled them throughout they have battled them throughout

the week. people have been living different experiences. people living and working in athens are concerned about high temperatures and impact on the body. workers have been striking in the acropolis, because of those conditions. now there are those in areas still battling wildfires. yesterday, firefighters said while there are big areas hit by blazes, individually there are more than 60 fires they responded to. people going back to home is completely destroyed. while there are hard times still coming, people are hard times still coming, people are dealing with the aftermath of what happened earlier this week. thank you. scientists say they have completed the world's largest release of seahorses into sydney harbour to boost population numbers. we can show you them.

they are called white's, being set free. the species is found on australia's east coast and became endangered in 2020 due to pollution and loss of habitat. i love them. they are like mythical creatures. they do look made up. here's sarah with a look at the weather. good morning. such a contrast. in athens, to where we are here. i think it is getting worse over the weekend. good morning. a real split in the weather across europe. in the south battling extreme temperatures. even hotter weather on the way through next week but here on the other side of the jet stream, cool and unsettled. this morning, sunshine around. through the day, sunny spells and scattered showers. not

too bad today. through the weekend, turning wet and windy. unsettled weather. rainfall totals mounting up. this morning, showers in parts of northern england, north wales. the odd shower could affect the golf and cricket. more rain in northern ireland later. showers in eastern scotland, north—east england. further south you will probably avoid showers. temperatures 14—21. a light wind. showers will come and go. tonight, more persistent rain comes in from the west. the central uk is where we will see wet weather to start the day. northern scotland and the far south of england, seeing clear conditions in the morning. strong wind across parts of england.

the rain moving eastwards through the day. northern scotland getting away with lighter wind and sunshine. the far east staying dry a good part of the day but the rain will arrive in the afternoon. heaviest towards the west and not feeling warm, particularly when you add on the strength of the wind and rain. 15-19. strength of the wind and rain. 15—19. fewershowers strength of the wind and rain. 15—19. fewer showers i think by sunday. let's take a look at today's papers. companies will be offered tens of millions of pounds in tax breaks for check—ups to keep employees well enough to do theirjobs, according to the times. the guardian says king charles is to receive a huge pay rise despite the cost of living crisis. it reports plans to boost annual public funding of the royals by 45% from 2025. and 'just stop foiled' is the metro's headline. the paper leads onjust stop 0il protesters getting ringed

in by a separate counter—protest group in london's elephant and castle. a picture of an alpaca. during a royal visit in brecon yesterday. king charles and queen camilla were quite taken by the two, caleb and reg, we are not sure who is who. and he is the only one looking at the camera. is reg wearing a pass? it is the man behind. i am sure he hasa it is the man behind. i am sure he has a pass. everyone has to have a pass. what have you seen? ways to de—stress. if things get a bit much,

a survey suggests we need to de—stress twice a day. they have looked at how people might de—stress. going for a walk, listening to music, making a cup of tea. 0ne listening to music, making a cup of tea. one is go for a drive on a quiet road. i think stressful, they are narrow. book a holiday. 0ne quiet road. i think stressful, they are narrow. book a holiday. one of the most stressful things you can do. trying to work out flights. my favourite. i am surprised it is not higher. at number 25, how to let off steam, scream into a pillow. it is so useful to do that. everyone has just had a real insight to your mind. it is what i do at 9.13. we can think of something else to do with a pillow if that is the case. 0k, de—stressing. what would be your top of the list? clean the house? play golf.

yes. remember, afterthe yes. remember, after the by—elections, yes. remember, afterthe by—elections, we will speak to representatives from labour, conservatives and lib dems throughout the morning. a pensionerfrom northumberland who is accused of murdering his terminally ill wife at their home in cyprus will find out later today if he will spend the rest of his life in prison. lawyers for david hunter say he killed his wife janice last year in an assisted suicide because she was suffering from blood cancer and begged him to take her life. fiona trott reports. i first met davey in the early '80s when i started down the pits. and it's a scary place. you felt confident around him. you couldn't say a gentleman — he was more than a gentleman. he's the type of lad he would help you. | he was always there for you. he was like a father figure to a lot of people. this is the david hunter they know. who looks beautiful? you do, don't you? the former miner who

was caring and kind. wonderful. absolutely wonderful. the husband who fulfilled his wife's wishes. to live their dream retirement in cyprus. beautiful paphos sunset. they appeared happy. but janice was suffering. she had blood cancer. so david killed her and tried to take his own life. daddy, just concentrate on me. the moments afterwards were captured on an emotional video call to his daughter back in the uk. daddy, you love me, you know you do. i'm yourgirl. he said she was in agony, she was in absolute agony. dad was making nappies for her out of towels. she had frequent accidents. my dad was carrying her into the shower and cleaning her up. he said, you know, she hated that kind of loss of dignity, that just... — she hated it, it destroyed her. you know, she'd be crying as he cleaned her, saying, i'm sorry. i'm sorry.

are you enjoying your breakfast? brunch. david hunter said it was her decision that she wanted to die. she begged him to do it. so why was he on trial for murder? under the cypriot criminal code, there is an offence of assisting suicide. as far as i know — and i've asked lots of lawyers in cyprus — it's never been used before. for whatever reason, the attorney general decided not to go down that path. but, in english law, if you're put on trial for murder, there is a defence of assisting suicide. that update to the criminal system hasn't been put in place in cyprus. the prosecution say this wasn't assisted suicide because there was no proof that janice asked david to help her die. if she was about, let's say, to use some pills and mr hunter would give her the pills, then he will face a count of assisted suicide. he did it because of selfish motives. it's himself he was taking care of.

back in northumberland, the view is very different. 60, 80, 100. another £180 towards davey�*s fund. it's absolutely amazing. but david's minding friends are collecting cash to support him in any way they can. if he's found guilty of murder, it willjust be a total, total injustice. we just carry on to the next stage. i'm not the barrister, but i'm sure there will be an appeal. and if that appeal needs funding, then i'll, you know, i'll move heaven and earth to get the funds. fight on, keep chipping away. we'll have to. we can'tjust leave him across there. he needs to come back where he's loved. if davey was found not guilty, i think proper. justice has been found. what people seem to miss is that davey fell in love with janice -

the first time he had met her, | and he actually didn't lose that spark all the way - through the 57 years. he doted onjanice, - absolutely doted on her. he's done it out of pure love. if the three judges were here now and could hear me, i would say to them, you know, we respect your culture and we respect your laws and we are truly grateful to cyprus for giving my parents a wonderful retirement. but please, please, please show my family, my dad, some compassion, because he is a good, good man and he isn't a risk to anyone. please don't allow him to spend his last few years in a prison alone. please allow him to come back to his family and we'll be for ever in your debt. you can't begin to know how grateful we will be to you. janice hunter was at the centre of his world, a world that's now unrecognisable from the time they met.

how it looks in the future now rests with the judges. fiona trott, bbc news, paphos. time for the news, travel and weather where you are, which may be affected by local bbc industrial action. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm paul murphy—kasp. well, as we've been hearing, it's been a big night in north—west london following the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election. the conservatives managed to hold on to borisjohnson's former seat with a majority ofjust 495. the result came in just after half past two after a recount of the conservative and labour votes. one of the big issues in this by—election was expansion of the ultra low emission zone. the new mp says the mayor of london's stance on ulez lost this election for labour. i've been knocking on thousands of doors, as have the money hundreds

of volunteers who have been supporting me for the last five weeks. and the number one message that has been coming from those front doors has been absolute opposition to the expansion of ulez into this community. it will devastate small business, it will cost families up to £4500 a year. and their voice is now going to reverberate back to city hall. sadiq khan, after ignoring this community, now needs to listen, because i wasn't expecting to win this election, but the people of uxbridge and south ruislip have elected me and their voice is loud and clear. a new campaign calling on men to challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour is being launched by city hall. research by the mayor's office found two in three men in the capital wanted to intervene in situations, but didn't know what to say. with one in four men under 35 regretting not calling out a friend orfamily member for their behaviour. passengers are being warned to check before they travel, with a week of industrial action affecting the capital's transport network. strike action by the rmt, aslef and the unite unions will mean there will be little or no tube service from sunday for six days. and on the trains, national rail strikes take place tomorrow and next saturday, 29thjuly,

with many train routes suspended. well, how is the tube doing right now? time for a look at the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. my advice would be to get out and enjoy the drier, brighter spells when they turn up over the next few days, because it's a far from settled outlook, as you may have heard. it's reasonable enough at the moment, but this deep area of low pressure is going to swirl its way in as we hit the weekend. and, yeah, you guessed it — it is going to turn pretty wet on saturday. a miserable start. some sunshine, but shower clouds will build up. hit and miss showers — you might avoid them. one or two sharp ones through the day moving west to east. temperatures in the brighter spells into the low 20s.

the winds not too strong at this stage. a relatively quiet night to come. again, the shower possible, but mostly dry. quite a coolish one again, temperatures getting down to ten or 11 degrees out of town. the breeze beginning to present through saturday morning. although saturday will start off dry and fine, it won't end that way, with some wet and windy weather arriving. on sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers. not a great weekend, it has to be said. any sign of improvement? 0nly briefly. it remains very disturbed through next week. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website. now it's back to ben and naga. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning. half past six. there's just over 24 hours until england's lionesses kick off against haiti in their first match of the women's

world cup in australia. jayne mccubbin is gauging the excitement a little closer to home, with some of the players from actonian girls fc in west london. good morning, jayne. it looks a little nippy out there this morning, but i am sure there will be exercised to keep everybody warm? we will be exercised to keep everybody warm? ~ ., ., _, warm? we are not feeling the cold, are we? no — warm? we are not feeling the cold, are we? no chance. _ warm? we are not feeling the cold, are we? no chance. good _ warm? we are not feeling the cold, are we? no chance. good morningl warm? we are not feeling the cold, - are we? no chance. good morning from actonian girls football team. yes, look at this. we have got a message. we have got a message for the england goals. what is it? come on encland! england goals. what is it? come on england! yes- _ england goals. what is it? come on england! yes. the _ england goals. what is it? come on england! yes. the question - england goals. what is it? come on england! yes. the question is, - england goals. what is it? come on england! yes. the question is, canl england! yes. the question is, can the do england! yes. the question is, can they do it? — england! yes. the question is, can they do it? yes! _ england! yes. the question is, can they do it? yes! good _ england! yes. the question is, can they do it? yes! good morning, i they do it? yes! good morning, everybody- _ they do it? yes! good morning, everybody- who _ they do it? yes! good morning, everybody. who are your heroes? who are you rooting for in this competition?—

been doing quite well. hugh ferris is there. —— england have been doing quite well. it is all about the weather, isn't it? yes, that is true. a little bit more january thanjuly yes, that is true. a little bit more january than july here yes, that is true. a little bit more january thanjuly here at old trafford this morning. from one of the main stance, there is a twin view of not only the rather impressive and growing manchester skyline, and the tram tracks, but also the cricket. it is important you can see those skyscrapers at the moment because it means the weather is not closing injust moment because it means the weather is not closing in just yet. moment because it means the weather is not closing injust yet. there is an old adage about 0ld is not closing injust yet. there is an old adage about old trafford, slightly unfair. it used to be said if he could see the pennines over there, then it was about to rain. if you can't it was already running. what you are definitely going to see a lot of today is those. yes, the covers will be on, potentially, and off, potentially, overthe course

covers will be on, potentially, and off, potentially, over the course of day three of the fourth ashes test, a match england must win, but they put themselves in a wonderful position because of a blistering day yesterday. 384—4, thanks partly to zak crawley. zak crawley is the leading batter in this ashes series. now in truth, did we expect to be saying that a month ago? england have stuck with him because they believe crawley can change games. it looks like he has done that in this test. he always tries to score quickly, takes risks, and so, when it works, the test match moves. and 189, in this ashes match context, vindicates everything. i always believed i had good knocks in me. i never doubted my best was good enough. it was just that stuff in between, i was a little bit inconsistent. i think they don't mind that inconsistency as long as i can produce days like today. honourable mentions to moeen ali's 54, batting at three because the team needs him there. and the classic england innings these days includejoe root doing this —

part of his sparkling 84. note how root got out. oh, it's right through! everyone will be interested in how the ball misbehaved here. unplayable. well, thus far in this test match england have done all they can to force the pace. we know what happens next depends on the weather, but it is also in the mind and hands of ben stokes. he is 24 not out, and he will always keep pushing. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. now, there's an englishman at the top of the leader board after the opening round of the open — much to the delight of the home crowd. tommy fleetwood was born in southport, just down the road from the royal liverpool golf club, which is hosting the tournament this year. but fleetwood isn't alone at the top, as ben croucher can explain, live from hoylake. he has some company at the top of

the leaderboard, ben? tie he has some company at the top of the leaderboard, ben?— the leaderboard, ben? he does indeed. good _ the leaderboard, ben? he does indeed. good morning. i the leaderboard, ben? he does. indeed. good morning. welcome the leaderboard, ben? he does i indeed. good morning. welcome to royal liverpool, or hoylake. it is a breezy morning here in the northwest. but the open championship is a day many people have in their diaries, weeks, months, even years in advance. just after half past six already, we can see the early risers getting out of bed bright and early this morning, because they do not want to miss a shot today. players are trying to move up the leaderboard, battling to make the cut. already we have got the first players on the course. they are all trying to catch tommy fleetwood, the man from just up the coast, who enjoyed the best of his day yesterday, a five under par round of 66, to sit at the top of the leaderboard. he said it was some of the most fun he had had on a golf course. he isjoined by emily grillo. and a name you might not

have heard of, south africa,'s christo lamprecht. he's an amateur, he is six foot eight. he used to play tennis, decided to take up golf. it looks like a pretty good decision. what a story it would be for him if he can emulate bobby jones from 1930 and winning here at royal liverpool. what about rory mcilroy? he struggled in the afternoon, battled his way to a level par round of 71. a brilliant sand save at the last rescuing his round. and many others have struggled so far today, so for yesterday, i should say, evenjustin thomas, who shot an 82, would you believe? some of the best in the world struggling with the conditions. it is a chilly morning here at hoylake. the wind is already picking up. and we are expecting tension throughout the whole day as players try and get over this tricky course. we had a downpour around about three to four hours ago, that

will make it particularly tricky. the heat of battle, it says there. there's not too much heat today. thank you. to the tour de france. and jonas vingegaard continues to comfortably move towards successfully defending his tour de france title, on a day to remember for denmark. vingegaard's fellow countryman, kasper asgreen, won the stage in a sprint finish — his first tour de france stage victory. vingegaard was part of the peloton that nearly caught the leading bunch, but fell just short. vingegaard maintaining his lead of seven and a half minutes ahead of the rest of the field. and just returning to the women's world cup for a moment, one game already completed today, where it finished 0—0 between nigeria and canada. no shortage of drama though, with canada missing a penalty. christine sinclair missing the opportunity to become the first woman to score at six world cups.

philippines against switzerland in dunedin, it is currently goalless in that one too. that is just approaching half—time. so we had a pretty exciting day at the ashes, and even though we might be dodging some showers today, what we do know is because of the weather england have to get going and get going fast. so when there is cricket, it will be pretty entertaining. it is so will be. thank you. we will be back throughout the morning at old trafford. one of the uk's biggest water companies has come under fire again this week, after accusations it was restricting access to its annual shareholders' meeting. hannah's looking at this for us this morning. there is a lot to get through on this. good morning. good morning. united utilities have previously said they want to be transparent, but what we are hearing this money does not exactly sound that way. let's have a little look at it. yes, we're talking united utilities, which supplies water to more

than three million homes and businesses across the north west of england. it's been identified as england's most polluting water company by the environment agency. one of their pipes reportedly poured sewage into the river ellen in the lake district for nearly 7000 hours last year. that's nearly 300 days. 0nly last month, people were told to stay out of a 14—mile stretch of coastline around blackpool, after a burst pipe saw raw sewage pumped into the sea. there's a lot of anger at the firm's pollution record, especially after it was reported shareholders were to get a £300 million dividends pay out. people hoping to attend their annual meeting today will have to be there in person. it says it is removing the option to attend online because of poor take up in recent years. but that's led to accusations it is trying to avoid scrutiny. the water industry is in panic mode at the moment because the reality of

what has been going on, they have effectively been operating in the regulation free environment for the best part of a decade. 0ff regulation free environment for the best part of a decade. off but has been pretty useless. the environment agency has many fantastic staff but they are in the foot greg underfunded. the water companies have ruthlessly exploited a regulation free environment and the environment has suffered as a prioritised dividends and executive bonuses, and they have not invested in the infrastructure in the sewage system and waste water treatment system, as they should have done. it's notjust united utilities running into trouble in recent times. investors had to raise £750 million to bail out thames water, which is struggling with debts of around £14 billion. it had been hoping to raise more. south west water was fined a record amount after admitting causing pollution in devon and cornwall. the chief executive gave up her £450,000 bonus after growing pressure. the regulator 0fwat told us it has pushed companies to take urgent action on sewage discharges, and is investigating six water firms. it also says it has new powers

to stop what it calls unearned dividends pay—outs. but i think many people, as they see their water bills going up, realistically it is going to be years and years until the sewage problem is solved, there is still a lot of anger out there about this. absolutely. thank you. let's get a check on the weather with sarah. we have been talking about the heat waves across large parts of europe. a very different picture here. this weekend is looking dicey, isn't it? yeah. good morning. ithink dicey sums it up. changeable. certainly some unsettled weather on the cards. today, not too bad. please guy around first thing. it will be a day of some sunny spells, a scattering of some sunny spells, a scattering of showers. through the weekend, thatis of showers. through the weekend, that is when we see things turning increasingly wet and windy. this is the expected rainfall that is going to accumulate beating today and monday. the wettest weather in

general will be through parts of northern ireland, north wales. they could be 70 millimetres of rain. some pretty soggy weather. we will all see some rain at some point in the next few days. this morning, showers in parts of northern england, north wales, drifting south. more showers through the day as parts of eastern scotland, north—east england, and more persistent rain arrives for northern ireland. a bit of sunshine for the western isles of scotland, southern england. temperatures 14 to 21 degrees. we may well see some of those showers through the morning interrupting both the cricket and the golf. but certainly not a wash—out. they will be coming and going reasonably quickly, with more sunshine later in the day. as we roll through this evening, that rain pushes across northern ireland in two parts of northern england, wales and southern scotland. northern scotland keeping these clear skies for longest overnight. temperatures falling into made single figures. generally tomorrow's weather will be dominated by this area of low

pressure as it pushes its way eastwards, bringing strong winds in the south—west, gail is developing, much of england and wales having a windy day. patchy rain moving eastwards. the northern half of scotland not having a bad day. parts of the south—east of england and east anglia will stay dry through into the latter part of the afternoon. temperatures 15 to 19 degrees. not great when you have got the rain and the breeze. the second half of the weekend not so much rain. but these heavy showers will linger in parts of northern england, northern wales. either side of that, sunny spells, scattered showers. warmer when we get to sunday. still only the mid to high teens further north. things look pretty unsubtle generally over the next week. i was right! dicey a very good word. thank you. look at those clouds. 12

minutes to seven. good morning. a good night for labour when it came to the selby and incy by—election. they had a thumping win over the conservatives. it failed to win uxbridge and south ruislip, borisjohnson's former ruislip, boris johnson's former constituency. let's get a reaction from labour's deputy leader angela rayner. good morning. what is your mood like this morning? it is one of reflection. congratulations to keir mather because it was an historic win. what we have to keep our feet on the ground. and of course 0xbridge was not a result. we narrowly lost again in that seat. —— 0xbridge. both of them are tory seats. we will run the celebrate —— selby one. one of the things we have to reflect on today is not only the mood against the tories but also the decision in

will be other constituencies in greater london that will go the same way because they are so concerned about the ulez charge? and what will you do about it in terms of strategy? t you do about it in terms of strategy?— you do about it in terms of strater ? ~ , ,., strategy? i think it is something that both the _ strategy? i think it is something that both the conservatives i strategy? i think it is something that both the conservatives and| that both the conservatives and labour have to consider. what we actually need to do is have clean air, of course. we have excess deaths. but we have also got to make sure that people can do the right thing. it is very clear that londoners are saying, we want to do the right thing but we can't afford a ulez charge when we have not got a scrappage scheme that meets the requirements for us to change or behaviours and vehicles. it is not just a problem for labour. it is a problem for the conservatives as well. they are in government and they are not providing the support either. i think it is something for both big parties to consider, how they are going to deal with this issue, because it is clear that the voters in london feel that way. iloathed voters in london feel that way. what conversations _ voters in london feel that way. what conversations will _ voters in london feel that way. what conversations will you _ voters in london feel that way. what conversations will you be _ voters in london feel that way. what conversations will you be having with the london mayor, sadiq khan?

well, we will continue to work with sadiq khan in making sure we push to get a decent scrappage scheme and do something the voters can be with us on. the idea of having clean air and making it safe for children and road users is everything that every londoner wants. however, users is everything that every londonerwants. however, it is users is everything that every londoner wants. however, it is about how we get there and how we can support people through that process. will you be urging him to drop it? like i say, we have to get around the table. it is not a question of dropping it. we have to have clean air but we have to do it in a way that enables people to change their vehicles and comply with what we need to do to clean up the air in london. that is a challenge for the mayor of london but it is a challenge for anybody who wants to be the next government as well. we have to provide ways to change people's vehicles to meet the green agenda, but also to keep people safe. as we know, notjust in london, but in areas across the uk, there are problems with the amount of emissions and the air quality in

some of our big cities and towns. it is an issue that needs to be addressed and we will be getting around the table to look at how we can do that for the general election. tt can do that for the general election-— can do that for the general election. , . , election. it is an interesting communication _ election. it is an interesting communication strategy i election. it is an interesting i communication strategy because election. it is an interesting - communication strategy because you yourself have just referred to lots of major cities and concerns over pollution. do you think there will be fears, and how we the labour party address this, that other big cities would, could, fall under a tight, if not the ulez charge, a type of charge again? how would the labour party communicate that may not be the case, or alleviate those fears if they are there? irate not be the case, or alleviate those fears if they are there?— not be the case, or alleviate those fears if they are there? we have the challen . e fears if they are there? we have the challenge in — fears if they are there? we have the challenge in my _ fears if they are there? we have the challenge in my own _ fears if they are there? we have the challenge in my own constituency i challenge in my own constituency within greater manchester where we have andy burnham as merrimack. he has been very clear to the government that they need to come forward with a proper funded scrappage scheme so we can implemented. —— mayor. we know we need to comply with the law. we had need to comply with the law. we had need to comply with the law. we had need to have safe air but we need to make sure that people can make the right choices. the frustration for

politicians like myself is that, at the moment, the government is failing to provide the support in orderfor people to failing to provide the support in order for people to change their behaviour. you can't outsource it to mayors and cities. this is a problem that will hit most of the uk because we do have a masons in some of our big major towns and cities that are not safe. we have to clean up or out. we have to help people to do that. the report in uxbridge and south ruislip tells you people want to do the right thing but they don't want to be penalised because they can't afford to change their vehicles, and there is not a scrappage scheme that complies with the legislation to enable them to do the legislation to enable them to do the right behaviour. i think the public want to do the right thing. theyjust want to public want to do the right thing. they just want to make sure they are not penalised for it. i hear that. i think that is something that all political parties need to reflect on. a, , ., , political parties need to reflect on. , ., , ., on. keir mather, 25 years old, the bab of on. keir mather, 25 years old, the baby of the _ on. keir mather, 25 years old, the baby of the house, _ on. keir mather, 25 years old, the baby of the house, i _ on. keir mather, 25 years old, the baby of the house, i understand, | on. keir mather, 25 years old, the | baby of the house, i understand, is the title that has now been given to him. what would be your advice to a

people of selby are facing at the moment. �* . , ., ~ , ., moment. angela rayner, thank you ve much moment. angela rayner, thank you very much for— moment. angela rayner, thank you very much for your _ moment. angela rayner, thank you very much for your time. _ very much for your time. we will be talking to representatives from the conservative party and the lib dems letter. let's get the news where you are. it could be affected by local bbc industrial action. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm paul murphy—kasp. as we've been hearing, it's been a big night in north—west london following the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election. the conservatives managed to hold on to borisjohnson�*s former seat with a majority of just 495. the result came injust after 2.30 after a recount of the conservative and labour votes. one of the big issues in this by—election was expansion of the ultra low emission zone. the new mp says the mayor of london's stance on ulez lost this election for labour. i've been knocking on the thousands of doors, as have the money hundreds

of doors, as have the many hundreds of volunteers who have been supporting me for the last five weeks. and the number one message that has been coming from those front doors has been absolute opposition to the expansion of ulez into this community. it will devastate small business, it will cost families up to £4500 a year. and their voice is now going to reverberate back to city hall. sadiq khan, after ignoring this community, now needs to listen, because i wasn't expecting to win this election, but the people of uxbridge and south ruislip have elected me and their voice is loud and clear. a campaign calling on men to challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour is being launched by city hall. research by the mayor's office found two in three men in the capital wanted to intervene in situations, but didn't know what to say. with one in four men under 35 regretting not calling out a friend orfamily member for their behaviour. passengers are being warned to check before they travel — with a week of industrial action affecting the capital's transport network. strike action by the rmt, aslef and the unite unions will mean there will be little or no tube service from sunday for six days. and on the trains, national rail

strikes take place tomorrow and next saturday 29th july — with many train routes suspended. how is the tube doing right now? all tube lines are running a good service. it's not on your screen, but worth mentioning the trams too, there's no service between arena and elmers end because of a shortage of trams. time for a look at the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. my advice would be to get out and enjoy the drier, brighter spells when they turn up over the next few days, because it's a far from settled outlook, as you may have heard. it's reasonable enough at the moment, but this deep area of low pressure is going to swirl its way in as we hit the weekend. and, yeah, you guessed it — it is going to turn pretty wet on saturday. a miserable start. a reasonable start. some sunshine, but shower clouds will build up. hit and miss showers — you might avoid them. one or two sharp ones through the day moving west to east. temperatures in the brighter spells into the low 20s. the winds not too strong at this stage. a relatively quiet night to come. again, the odd shower

possible, but mostly dry. quite a coolish one again, temperatures getting down to ten or 11 degrees out of town. the breeze beginning to freshen through saturday morning. although saturday will start off dry and fine, it won't end that way, with some wet and windy weather arriving. on sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers. not a great weekend, it has to be said. any sign of improvement? only briefly. it remains very disturbed through next week. that's it for now but there's plenty more on our website, including more on the result of the uxbridge by—election and how marks & spencer plans to bulldoze and rubuild its oxford street store have been rejected by the government. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today. the conservatives are crushed in two

big by—election defeats. they have large majorities wiped out as they lose somerton and frome to the lib dems and selby and ainsty to labour. for too long, conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. and today that changes. tonight has been a stunning and historic victory for the liberal democrats. good morning from uxbridge. the result here softens the blow for the conservatives. but a thumping elsewhere raises big questions for the prime minister. also this morning. judges in cyprus are due to deliver their verdict in the murder trial of david hunter, a british pensioner accused of murdering his wife. the family of olivia pratt—korbel, the nine—year—old murdered in liverpool last year calls for a change in the law to force offenders

to attend court for sentencing. good morning from old trafford. a stunning innings from zak crawley gave england a lead of 67 over australia. and the weather is turning wet and windy tomorrow but today, some sunny spells. scattered showers around. more details coming up shortly. good morning. it's friday, the zistjuly. our main story. the conservatives have suffered two huge by—election defeats overnight, losing somerton and frome to the liberal democrats, and selby and ainsty to labour. there was one positive for rishi sunak and his party as they held on to uxbridge and south ruislip by the slimmest of margins. our political correspondent alex forsyth has the story of the night.

i hereby declare that kier mather is duly elected. cheering the jubilation was obvious. in the early hours of this morning, this was the moment labour overturned a conservative majority of more than 20,000 to win in selby and ainsty, something the party has never done before. the people of selby and ainsty have sent a clear message. for too long, conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. and, today, that changes. it's time for a fresh start. earlier, the lib dems were celebrating in somerton and frome. another huge victory for them in a seat that had been conservative. their candidate saying it showed her party was back in the west country. lifelong conservative voters have today voted liberal democrat for the first time. thank you for putting your trust in me to deliver for you. i will not let you down.

but look at this, in the west london seat of uxbridge in south ruislip, it went down to the wire. votes had to be re—counted before it was announced the conservatives had clung on. and i hereby declare that the said steve tuckwell is duly elected. cheering perhaps a surprise for some in boris johnson's former seat. the tories put their victory down to their campaign against the labour mayor of london's plan to expand the ultra low emission zone where drivers are charged if vehicles don't meet certain standards. sadiq khan has lost to labour this election in his... cheering and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost them this election. so now time for the parties and pundits to analyse what these results say about the big political picture.

yes, the conservatives managed to stem the outgoing tide from which they are seemingly suffering in uxbridge, but it seems to me there is little gainsaying the fact that the tide is still a long way out for the conservatives and they still have an awful long way to go before they look as though they might have a chance of being able to retain power. the campaigns ahead of these by—elections were hard—fought. the results give each party a victory, but leave some big questions, too, about who is really on the path to power ahead of the next general election. alex forsyth, bbc news. we will take you to all of those key by—election areas. and we will speak to our chief political correspondent in london. but first to selby.

david, an important day for labour and a big win. david, an important day for labour and a big win-— and a big win. that is right. the conservatives _ and a big win. that is right. the conservatives went _ and a big win. that is right. the conservatives went into - and a big win. that is right. the conservatives went into the - and a big win. that is right. the l conservatives went into the north yorkshire by—election with a huge majority, over20,000. labour majority, over 20 , 000. labour overturned majority, over20,000. labour overturned that. it is now a majority of 4000 for labour, the biggest majority labour have ever overturned in a by—election. the last time they were seeing swings of this scale was in the run—up to 1997 when labour got a majority. in a general election context, if labour want to majority, this is not a key seat, and this would just be a bonus. there are conservatives who are hoping the reason they got a kicking last night was down to the context of this by—election. it was because nigel adams, the former conservative mp, stood down after borisjohnson did in a row about who

would all would not be able to take up would all would not be able to take up a seat in the house of lords. rishi sunak, whose constituency is “p rishi sunak, whose constituency is up the road from here, will be hoping that was perhaps a factor here, ratherthan hoping that was perhaps a factor here, rather than the alternative, the suggestion that labour are winning in seats with the conservative majority. because if you put that in the general election context it could be very bad for rishi sunak. the newest mp will be representing selby, keir mather, at 25, he will go into the commons and be known as the baby of the house, in other words the youngest mp in the house of commons. correspondentjenny kumah is in frome. how much of a surprise was this win for the liberal democrats? this how much of a surprise was this win for the liberal democrats?— for the liberal democrats? this was a hue for the liberal democrats? this was a huge win. — for the liberal democrats? this was a huge win, overturning _ for the liberal democrats? this was a huge win, overturning a _

for the liberal democrats? this was a huge win, overturning a majority. a huge win, overturning a majority of 19,000. they campaigned a huge win, overturning a majority ofi9,000. they campaigned hard. ed davey came to the constituency six times and it seems to have paid off. it was predicted but what was surprising was how early in the evening they came out to claim victory. they were saying before midnight, just after polling booths had closed, that they had romped home and the conservative vote was in freefall. at the cat, a senior conservative councillor blamed the national picture but also local circumstances that saw the former conservative mp david warburton resign, facing allegations of sexual misconduct which he denied. the lib dems werejubilant with misconduct which he denied. the lib dems were jubilant with their victory. the conservative candidate left the count without doing interviews. the lib dems, this is a further sign that they are rebuilding support in the

south—west. last year they took control of somerset council and overturned a majority of 2a,000 from the conservative and —— in the tiverton by—election. and they are now confident they are rebuilding their stronghold in the south—west. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in uxbridge. i think labour were pretty confident here. chatting to people yesterday. i think they thought they would win in boris johnson's old stomping ground. so in that sense, the conservative victory here is a bit of a surprise. nit i think we can maybe see it slightly differently to whatjenny and david and what they were talking about, because there was one issue that came up a lot. it was the ability to drive your car. the ulez zone in london where you have to pay every time you

move your car, every day you move it, if it is not eco—friendly, that dominated the conservative campaign. they made it front and centre. the message we were getting from the new mp for uxbridge, steve tuckwell, the conservative, is that he thinks it was the ulez issue that was the one that got him over the line. it softens the blow overnight for the conservatives, but i do not think we should necessarily see it in the same way as we see the broader political picture in the uk. what is your assessment overall of what has transpired overnight? there will be claim and counterclaim throughout the morning, each party giving their assessment of what these figures mean. what do you make of it? the picture this morning is more complicated than i think a lot of people expected it to be. a lot of people thought rishi sunak would be the first prime minister in 50 years

to lose three by—elections in one day, so he will look at the result here and every time you hear conservatives over the next days, they will point to uxbridge to say things are not as bad as they look. i think they probably are. if you look at places like selby, where labour were not even prioritising for the general election before today, that is a colossal majority to lose. that will be really worrying for senior tories. somerton and frome, that is a part of the country where the conservatives had a colossal majority, winning by a country mile in 2019. so results like that will really worry the prime minister. i think the broad picture politically is still one that suggests conservatives are shedding constituencies they won comfortably in 2019.

rishi sunak, although he might have stabilised government a bit — we are not covering scandals every morning like maybe we were this time last year, but he has failed to change the political weather. in that sense, it is a thumping for the conservative party. we will speak to the conservatives and lib dems in the next hour but now the rest of the news. a pensionerfrom northumberland accused of murdering his terminally ill wife at their home in cyprus will find out later today if he will spend the rest of his life in prison. lawyers for david hunter say he killed his wife janice last year in an assisted suicide, because she was suffering from blood cancer and begged him to take her life. fiona trott is outside the court in paphos this morning. this is a tragic case, either way it is looked at.

this is a tragic case, either way it is looked at— is looked at. that is right. the 'ud . es is looked at. that is right. the judges today _ is looked at. that is right. the judges today have _ is looked at. that is right. the judges today have to - is looked at. that is right. the judges today have to put - is looked at. that is right. the i judges today have to put emotion is looked at. that is right. the - judges today have to put emotion to one side and they have one thing to consider. was this premeditated murder? by discussing assisting suicide does it mean it was planned? if so david hunterfaces suicide does it mean it was planned? if so david hunter faces a suicide does it mean it was planned? if so david hunterfaces a life sentence. his defence say it was not planned, it was a snap decision when he carried out the act. he told the court he killed his wife because he loved her, it was a crime of love and mercy. but the prosecution say it was a selfish action, you were thinking of yourself when you did this because you could not stand to see herself. this because you could not stand to see herself-— the boss of natwest has apologised to nigel farage for "deeply inappropriate" comments made about him in a document on his suitability as a customer at one of the company's banks. ukip�*s ex—leader has said his coutts

account was closed because the bank did not agree with his political views and dame alison rose should now be questioned by mps about the issue. the united states has confirmed that ukraine is using us cluster bombs against russian forces in the country. the white house said feedback suggested they were proving effective against russian defensive positions. cluster bombs scatter multiple bomblets and are banned by more than 100 states due to their threat to civilians. senior doctors in england will walk out for a second day as part of their strike over pay. only emergency care and a small amount of routine work will be provided. the british medical association has called the government's 6% wage offer derisory. a major search is under way for a wild animal, believed to be a lioness, on the loose in woodland in germany. police received calls on wednesday night saying a lion was chasing a wild boar down the street, near berlin. residents have been told to stay indoors

until the animal is found. sarah has the morning weather. we have so many sporting events and i think the weather will play a big part in determining winners, losers, final results. absolutely. good morning. we have showers in the forecast that will affect some of the big sporting events. on and off today but certainly more so over the weekend because we have wet weather on the cards. this morning, showers, cloud. it will be a day of some sunny intervals and scattered showers. through the weekend, that is when the wet and windy weather arrives for many, particularly saturday. we have showers this morning across parts of northern england and north wales. the odd shower over old

trafford and hoylake. in the afternoon, sunshine breaking through but showers in eastern scotland, north—east england, rain in northern ireland. the odd shower elsewhere. mainly dry close to the south coast of england and northern scotland. not great for this stage injuly. tonight, rain pushes into southern scotland, northern england, wales. a 5°99y scotland, northern england, wales. a soggy night through the central swathes of the uk. either side, some clear skies. temperatures down to mid—single figures in the north of scotland. tomorrow dominated by low pressure from the atlantic with brisk winds, rotating around the low pressure and plenty of rain. wet weather the word go but heavier rain reaches western areas later and gates across the south—west of gales across the south—west of england. parts of northern scotland seeing the best of the weather.

15-17 in seeing the best of the weather. 15—17 in the sunshine there. with the cloud and rain it will not feel warm. the rain arrives in the south east later. plenty of shower symbols here. looking unsettled but sunny spells in between the showers. the liberal democrats will be celebrating after overturning a majority of more than 19,000 to win the somerton and frome by—election. we can speak to the deputy leader daisy cooper. a20 9% swing. what did voters like about what you offered? i spoke to people on the doorsteps and it was clear people are sick to the back teeth of this conservative government taking them for granted. people struggling with the cost of

living, the nhs backlogs, trying to see a gp. they liked the fact liberal democrats have been winning that battle whether windfall tax, having access to a gp. they wanted to vote for sarah bike because she is a hard—working local champion. we are delighted with the win and it is are delighted with the win and it is a sign the lib dems are back in the west country. a sign the lib dems are back in the west country-— west country. by-elections are a secial west country. by-elections are a special case- _ west country. by-elections are a special case. we _ west country. by-elections are a special case. we have _ west country. by-elections are a special case. we have seen - west country. by-elections are a special case. we have seen thatl west country. by-elections are a | special case. we have seen that in uxbridge, can you replicate this at a general election? i uxbridge, can you replicate this at a general election?— a general election? i hope so. if ou look a general election? i hope so. if you look at— a general election? i hope so. if you look at that _ a general election? i hope so. if you look at that part _ a general election? i hope so. if you look at that part of - a general election? i hope so. if you look at that part of the - a general election? i hope so. if| you look at that part of the world there is a trend. you know we had there is a trend. you know we had the by—election win in tiverton and honiton where we made political history with the biggest by—election win ever. recent local elections, we won more than 50% of seats in somerset in last year's local elections and more than 40% in this

labour's angela rayner already. when you think of a soprano, paint me a picture. usually female. quite tall. good lungs. not what i am expecting this to be about. a male soprano is a very rare thing in the opera world — there's only a handful of them and one of the most well known — samuel marino is taking to the stage of glyndebourne opera house for the very first time. samuel was badly bullied because his voice didn't break as a teenager. now, 15 years on he wouldn't change a thing about his unique sound. our arts correspondent david sillito went to meet him. he sings in soprano range. my name is samuel marino. and i am a male soprano

opera singer. samuel marino and his extraordinary voice rehearsing here for his next role in the opera semele, where he'll be playing iris. iris? yeah, that's the goddess of rainbow. you are the goddess of rainbow? yes, that's cool,huh? yes, very cool. i love rainbows. male sopranos are very rare. samuel has it because his voice never broke. and while it is now his livelihood, it was, when he was younger, a torment. i'm guessing it was tough when you were a teenager. it was so hard. i mean, actually, itried everything to change this. i went to many doctors

to try to change my speaking voice because at school it was a nightmare. imagine a teenager and i was speaking even higher than today. so, yes, people bullied me a lot at school. it was very hard for me. yeah. tough, isn't it? tough. still, it's not easy today. and now he's about to take to the stage of glyndebourne — their first—ever male soprano. it is quite a journey from those difficult school days, but, offstage, there are still issues. are people used to your voice — when you go into a shop? yes, sometimes. on the phone? on the phone, it's always, "bonjour, madame". it's always hello.

my bank — it's impossible to contact my bank. they never believe that it's me. it's impossible to, like, get my money — give me my money! they think they're talking to a woman? yes, madame marino. and while samuel seems very at home in the rarefied world of glyndebourne opera, it's not what he grew up with. what music did you listen to growing up? oh, britney spears. beyonce. britney spears, beyonce? yes, not at all opera. lady gaga. i love lady gaga, too. oh, my god. yes. i love lady gaga. and, of course, in the pop world, there are male singers who can hit the high notes. but samuel's voice isn't falsetto. it's very technical. i don't know much about it, to be honest. i keep the magic.

samuel marino, male soprano, and for him... ..this is about more thanjust the music. you know how to make an entrance. you are an example to so many people. just embrace it. i mean, there is not the other. just love who you are. love what you are. doesn't matter if you are small, if you're a big. it doesn't matter what you are — what you have here and what you have to say to the others, what you have to share with the others. that's the important thing. david sillito, bbc news, glyndebourne. stunning voice. amazing. just incredible. how amazing was that?

played a big part in the result of this election. the conservatives won with a majority of just a95 votes. the race was understandably overshadowed by borisjohnson, although the tories wanted to focus on the expansion of london's ultra low emission zone, being championed by labour mayor sadiq khan. sources within the labour party admitted after polls closed that the controversial measure played a sizeable role in the election, and came up frequently on the doorsteps. a new campaign calling on men to challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour is being launched by city hall. research by the mayor's office found two in three men in the capital wanted to intervene in situations, but didn't know what to say, with one in four men under 35 regretting not calling out a friend orfamily member for their behaviour. passengers are being warned to check before they travel, with a week of industrial action affecting the capital's transport network. strike action by the rmt, aslef and the unite unions will mean

there will be little or no tube service from sunday for six days. and on the trains, national rail strikes take place tomorrow and next saturday, 29th july, with many train routes suspended. all tube lines are running a good service. it's not on your screen, but worth mentioning the trams too — there's no service between arena and elmers end because of a shortage of trams. time for a look at the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. my advice would be to get out and enjoy the drier, brighter spells when they turn up over the next few days, because it's a far from settled outlook, as you may have heard. it's reasonable enough at the moment, but this deep area of low pressure is going to swirl its way in as we hit the weekend. and, yeah, you guessed it — it is going to turn pretty wet on saturday. a reasonable start. some sunshine, but shower clouds will build up. hit and miss showers — you might avoid them. one or two sharp ones through the day moving west to east.

temperatures in the brighter spells into the low 20s. the winds not too strong at this stage. a relatively quiet night to come. again, the odd shower possible, but mostly dry. quite a coolish one again, temperatures getting down to ten or 11 degrees out of town. the breeze beginning to present through saturday morning. although saturday will start off dry and fine, it won't end that way, with some wet and windy weather arriving. on sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers. not a great weekend, it has to be said. any sign of improvement? only briefly. it remains very disturbed through next week. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website, including more on the result of the uxbridge by—election, and how marks & spencer's plans to bulldoze and rubuild its oxford street store have been rejected by the government. now it's back to ben and naga. goodbye.

hello, good morning. this is breakfast or with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning. despite narrowly holding onto boris johnson's former constituency of uxbridge and south ruislip, the conservatives have suffered a heavy by—election defeat, losing two seats to labour and the lib dems overnight. to labour and the lib dems overnight-— to labour and the lib dems overniaht. �*, , , ., ~ ., ., to labour and the lib dems overniaht. �*, ,, ., ., , overnight. let's speak now to greg hands, overnight. let's speak now to greg hands. the — overnight. let's speak now to greg hands, the conservative _ overnight. let's speak now to greg hands, the conservative party - hands, the conservative party chairman. a breezy night for the conservatives. defeats in somerton and frome, selby and ainsty. that is quite a message voters are sending the conservative party to clearly, there are lessons we will take away from the by—election defeats in selby and somerton. from the by-election defeats in selby and somerton. particularly driven by conservative _ selby and somerton. particularly driven by conservative voters - driven by conservative voters slaving — driven by conservative voters staying at home. we obviously might need to— staying at home. we obviously might need to regain their trust and their confidence — need to regain their trust and their confidence. but i think the unexpected result was the one in uxbridge — unexpected result was the one in uxbridge. labourwere unexpected result was the one in uxbridge. labour were 25 to one on to win _ uxbridge. labour were 25 to one on to win that— uxbridge. labour were 25 to one on to win that seat. and we defied that with a _ to win that seat. and we defied that with a brilliant local candidate in

balcony that provides a unique view of test cricket. all those waking up this morning at the hotel and that willjoin us later in hospitality willjoin us later in hospitality will be watching, hopefully, the cover is coming off, not going on, because this is a tantalising position for england to be in. they had a fantastic day yesterday. they have a lead of 67. they have work to do today. they will have to do it quickly because of this weather. they bowled australia out for 317 on day two. zak crawley and joe root put on a partnership of 206 to put england ahead, in control. crawley eventually out for 189 here at old trafford yesterday. he was bowled by cameron green. root went for sa shortly after. england resumed 38a-a, a shortly after. england resumed 38a—a, a lead of 67. with the rain now arriving, england must hope to win this match before the weather can stop them doing so.

i always believed i had good knocks in me. i never doubted my best was good enough. it isjust the in me. i never doubted my best was good enough. it is just the stuff in between. i was a little bit inconsistent. they don't mind that inconsistency as long as i can produce days like today. i was knew i had 100 me. a quick 100 produce days like today. i was knew i had 100 me. a quick100 in produce days like today. i was knew i had 100 me. a quick 100 in may. but like you say, it is not the same until you do it. it is nice to get it off the chest. an incredibly tough day, but full credit— an incredibly tough day, but full credit to — an incredibly tough day, but full credit to england, the way they played — credit to england, the way they played. crawley, outstanding innings _ played. crawley, outstanding innings. he rode his luck but put some _ innings. he rode his luck but put some real— innings. he rode his luck but put some real pressure on us in the middle — some real pressure on us in the middle session. we still feel like any time — middle session. we still feel like any time you're in the game, 69 behind, — any time you're in the game, 69 behind, we— any time you're in the game, 69 behind, we would like to think that potentially we could knock over the last few _ potentially we could knock over the last few wickets and get to work with the — last few wickets and get to work with the bat. we probably left a few out there _ with the bat. we probably left a few out there in the first innings. the — out there in the first innings. the women's world cup in australia. in the last hour the england captain millie bright has confirmed she will be fit to play in the opening game for the lionesses at the

2-0. that is in dunedin. let's head to the open, shall we? i don't know if ben croucher needs an umbrella like me. he may be less protective of his hair than me. tommy fleetwood one of the three leaders after round one. he is from southport. he will appreciate the weather in the north west of england with you at hoylake as well. an exciting day to come? he will as well. an exciting day to come? he: will be very much used to the elements. definitely not too protective about my hair, but it is just starting to speak with rain. good morning from hoylake. we are actually exposed to the elements. we have come to the far end of the course. we have got wales over there in the distance. in front of us we have got the rumbles and crumbles of the 12th and 11th fairways. we have run off so long you could lose your dog in it at times. players hacked

away in this yesterday, so truckee are the conditions. but tommy fleetwood definitely enjoyed the best of it. he had his best round, opening round, ishould best of it. he had his best round, opening round, i should say, best of it. he had his best round, opening round, ishould say, in best of it. he had his best round, opening round, i should say, in a major championship. five under par round of 66. he sits at the top of the leaderboard. a three—way lead with emiliano grillo and the relatively unheard of south african amateur, christo lamprecht. he is six foot eight, playing in his first open championship. in the calmer morning conditions on thursday, definitely had a ball out there. he wasn't surprised by his performance, evenif wasn't surprised by his performance, even if most of us definitely work. the latest starters on thursday had the stronger of the winds. they had the stronger of the winds. they had the heart of the greens. the likes ofjohn ram and justin rose and cameron smith, the defending champion, all over par, but rory mcilroy, he battled and battled his way to a level par round of 71. he

made three birdies and three bogeys and a wonderful part or save at the last to keep himself in contention and maybe even emulate his success here at hoylake back in 201a. he is out at about ten o'clock this morning, along withjohn rama and justin rose. we are expecting a little bit of this rain to make the rough quite tricky. the wind to continue to pick up. to give you an idea of how challenging conditions are already this morning, half of the players who have gone through the players who have gone through the first already have made bogey at that very first hole. i don't think we will see as many low scores as we did yesterday. then, thank you very much indeed. just time to tell you that jonas vingegaard continues to comfortably move towards successfully defending his tour de france title, on a day to remember for denmark. vingegaard's fellow countryman, kasper asgreen, won the stage in a sprint finish — his first tour

de france stage victory. vingegaard was part of the peloton that nearly caught the leading bunch, but fell just short. vingegaard maintaining his lead of seven and a half minutes ahead of the rest of the field. so so time for me to hand back and go and find some shelter. spare a thought for the ground staff who have spent the entire morning clearing up from the rain overnight. as soon as they finished, the heavens opened again. it is not very nice at all. go and get some cover, get a hot cup of tea. i think you may have a long wait today. we will find out. the person who can tell us is sarah keith—lucas. how long will the rain keep coming at old trafford? not too long. it will be on and off at old trafford and hoylake. brightening up later. some sunshine coming later. some of us have the sun sun this morning. some blue skies. there is some shower cloud. it will be a mix of sunny intervals

but scattered showers around through the weekend. things will turn particularly wet and windy, especially on saturday. if we look at the next few days, until monday, the expected rainfall. you can see the expected rainfall. you can see the blue colours. the wettest weather will be for parts of northern england into wales. there could be about 70 millimetres of rain by the time we get to monday. but we are all going to be seeing some wet weather at times through the weekend. today we have the showers across parts of northern england. showers developing in parts of eastern scotland and some patchy rain rolling into northern ireland as well. there will be some sunshine for western scotland. southern england as well. temperatures a little below par for the time of the year. 1a to 20 degrees. not too windy. we are expecting a few interruptions at old trafford and at hoylake as well. particularly through the morning. the heavy showers will move through relatively quickly. by this afternoon they will

be more sunshine. into the evening hours most of the showers side. then we have this batch of cloud and rain moving in from northern ireland, spilling across southern scotland, northern england and wales, to start off your saturday morning. either side of that fresher spells. temperatures intimate single figures in scotland. tomorrow's weather dominated by this area of low pressure. it rattles in from the atlantic. the winds will be spilling around that area. much of england and wales will see the windy conditions. the rainjust pushing its way from west to east gradually through the day. the northern half of scotland will see a decent day, lighter winds and some sunshine. towards the south—east 80s looking windy, but are dry about the middle part of the afternoon. this rain quite heavy, especially in the west in the day. into sunday, is low pressure drifts eastwards, we have the tail end of that system bringing more persistent rain to parts of northern england and wales. either

side of that, a scattering of showers. cool with the northerly winds across parts of scotland. 15 to 70 degrees. warmer than that for the south. this is the outlook. you probably don't want to see it. lots of rain symbols. it is not going to be persistent rain. the first week of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, a of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, a few of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, a few showers of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, a few showers as of the summer holidays for many. changeable weather, a bit of sunshine, a few showers as well. you're right, we don't want to see it! thank you. eight minutes to eight. the national trust's longest running conservation project, restoring 13 tapestries from the 16th century, can you imagine how long it would take? 2a years. such meticulous work. take? 24 years. such meticulous work. ., ., ., such meticulous work. you have to have really — such meticulous work. you have to have really good — such meticulous work. you have to have really good eyes _ such meticulous work. you have to have really good eyes and - such meticulous work. you have to have really good eyes and nimble l have really good eyes and nimble fingers. navtaj have really good eyes and nimble fingers. navtaonhal reports have really good eyes and nimble fingers. navtaj johal reports from derbyshire where the treasured works were returned to their former glory.

waiting for the big reveal. this is a moment 2a years and more than £1.5 million in the making. this epic 16th century tapestry is the final of 13 that the national trust began restoring in 1999 as part of an ambitious project here at hardwick hall in derbyshire. you're obviously very skilled at yourjob, but were your hands shaking as you were removing that piece of tissue paper? there was, i think because of the audience watching as well, there was a moment when i was thinking, goodness, this is — you know, the stakes are really high here. but, but no, no. it felt really, really good and a great honour to do it, as well. denise edwards championed the project for around 20 years, retiring just before it was completed. to me, it symbolises everything the national trust stands for — the fact that

as an organisation we would invest 2a years and all that funding and resource into looking after something that's so special, so unique and in the very, very special place that is hardwick hall. i felt quite emotional today and almost cried. you just don't do things like this, and i've had a great career with the national trust and this is a really, really exciting and fitting end. the tapestries tell the story of gideon, a key figure in the old testament. they were bought by bess of hardwick, one of the richest women of her time and a friend of elizabeth i, for her newly built home. but while bess was building the hall in 1592, she actually went on a bit of a shopping spree to london to buy things for the interior of the hall. she actually purchased these tapestries from someone called sir christopher hatton. he'd actually died leaving a lot of debt. so they were kind of at a bit of bargain price. restoring this tapestry has taken an extraordinary amount of work. and if you're wondering just why it had to happen, take

a look at this. these are bags of dust, dirt and soot removed from just this tapestry in the very first part of the cleaning process. each of the tapestries was then sent to belgium for cleaning, before being meticulously worked on by a specialist team of conservators and then returned to hardwick. the restoration of this final tapestry alone took more than 5,000 hours of work. they are significant because they're actually the only complete set of the gideon tapestries we have in the country — so part of our national cultural heritage. tapestries of this scale don't exist, but they do at hardwick, they do in the uk. i hope she'll be overjoyed. she asked in her will that herfamily and future generations cared for her textiles and her other objects, and i hope we've fulfilled that. as the final touches are applied to the national trust's

longest—running conservation project. this work means the tapestries should now be secured for at least 100 years — to be enjoyed for generations to come. navteonhal, bbc news, in derbyshire. we weren't wrong about having to duck you need a very good arms, good eyes, good fingers. good coordination. a beautiful result. we will be back with the headline is around eight o'clock. first, find out what is happening where you are waking up. these may be affected by local industrial action. hello, good morning from bbc london i'm paul murphy—kasp. well, as we've been hearing, it's been a big night in north—west london following the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election. the conservatives managed to hold

on to borisjohnson's former seat with a majority of just a95. the result came injust after 2:30am after a recount of the conservative and labour votes. labour says sadiq khan's planned expansion of the ultra low emission zone was the issue that swayed voters. a new campaign calling on men to challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour is being launched by city hall. research by the mayor's office found two in three men in the capital wanted to intervene in situations, but didn't know what to say. with one in four men under 35 regretting not calling out a friend orfamily member for their behaviour. passengers are being warned to check before they travel, with a week of industrial action affecting the capital's transport network. strike action by the rmt, aslef and the unite unions will mean there will be little or no tube service from sunday for six days. and on the trains, national rail strikes take place tomorrow and next saturday 29th july — with many train routes suspended. all tube lines are running a good service. it's not on your screen, but worth mentioning the trams too, there's no service between arena

and elmers end because of a shortage of trams. weather now and following a sunny morning, there could be the odd shower this afternoon. highs today of 21 degrees. that's it for now, plenty more on our website, but i'll be back with more in half an hour, see you then — goodbye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today. the conservatives are crushed in two big by—election defeats. they have large majorities wiped out as they lose somerton and frome to the lib dems and selby and ainsty to labour. for too long, conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. tonight has been a stunning and historic victory for the liberal democrats. i hereby declare the said steve tuckwell— i hereby declare the said steve tuckwell is— i hereby declare the said steve tuckwell is duly _ i hereby declare the said steve tuckwell is duly elected. - i hereby declare the said steve tuckwell is duly elected. better news for rishi _ tuckwell is duly elected. better news for rishi sunak _ tuckwell is duly elected. better news for rishi sunak and - tuckwell is duly elected. better news for rishi sunak and the i news for rishi sunak and the conservatives in uxbridge where they hold boris johnson's conservatives in uxbridge where they hold borisjohnson's old seat.

also this morning. judges in cyprus are due to deliver their verdict in the murder trial of david hunter, a british pensioner accused the uk's water industry is under fire again as one of the most polluting companies is accused of restricting access for shareholders to its own annual general meeting. i'll be asking why. inaudible good morning we have sunshine out there and a scattering of showers particularly in northern parts of the uk. things turning wet and windy for everyone tomorrow. good morning. it's friday, the 21stjuly. the conservatives have suffered two huge by—election defeats overnight, losing somerton & frome to the liberal democrats, and selby and ainsty to labour. there was one positive for rishi sunak and his party as they held on to uxbridge and south ruislip

by the slimmest of margins. our political correspondent alex forsyth has the story of the night. i hereby declare that kier mather is duly elected. cheering the jubilation was obvious. in the early hours of this morning, this was the moment labour overturned a conservative majority of more than 20,000 to win in selby and ainsty, something the party has never done before. the people of selby and ainsty have sent a clear message. for too long, conservatives up here and in westminster have failed us. and, today, that changes. it's time for a fresh start. earlier, the lib dems were celebrating in somerton and frome. another huge victory for them in a seat that had been conservative. their candidate saying it showed her party was back in the west country. lifelong conservative voters have today voted

liberal democrat for the first time. thank you for putting your trust in me to deliver for you. i will not let you down. but look at this, in the west london seat of uxbridge in south ruislip, seat of uxbridge and south ruislip, it went down to the wire. votes had to be re—counted before it was announced the conservatives had clung on. and i hereby declare that the said steve tuckwell is duly elected. cheering perhaps a surprise for somel boris johnson's former seat. the tories put their victory down to their campaign against the labour mayor of london's plan to expand the ultra low emission zone where drivers are charged if vehicles don't meet certain standards. sadiq khan has lost to labour this election in his... cheering and we know that it was his damaging and costly ulez policy that lost

them this election. so now time for the parties and pundits to analyse what these results say about the big political picture. yes, the conservatives managed to stem the outgoing tide from which they are seemingly suffering in uxbridge, but it seems to me there is little gainsaying the fact that the tide is still a long way out for the conservatives and they still have an awful long way to go before they look as though they might have a chance of being able to retain power. the campaigns ahead of these by—elections were hard—fought. the results give each party a victory, but leave some big questions, too, about who is really on the path to power ahead of the next general election. alex forsyth, bbc news. we have correspondents in all three by—election areas this morning — and we'll be speaking to them

throughout the morning. we can first go to selby. david, a big win for labour. in we can first go to selby. david, a big win for labour.— big win for labour. in this north yorkshire seat _ big win for labour. in this north yorkshire seat they _ big win for labour. in this north yorkshire seat they had - big win for labour. in this north yorkshire seat they had a - big win for labour. in this north yorkshire seat they had a huge | yorkshire seat they had a huge majority, over20,000 yorkshire seat they had a huge majority, over 20,000 for the conservatives which is now a labour majority of a000 votes and that represents the biggest majority labour has overturned in a by—election. the sort of swing we saw last night for labour in north yorkshire and the swings they got in the run—up to the 1997 election. off the run—up to the 1997 election. off the back of that they won a huge majority. in a general election context, if labour want to win a majority they do not have to win seats like this, it is not high on the target list, so they will be enthusiastic about what we have seen happen here last night. speaking to

conservatives, i think some hoped the context of this by—election, was that the outgoing mp nigel adam stood down amidst a row about who borisjohnson was going to put into the house of lords and i think some conservatives were hoping that voters were annoyed he left midway through his term but there were big issues like cost of living on the doorstep. rishi sunak�*s constituency is near here. he will hope he can do something to stop losses on this scale at a general election. a quick comment about the new mp for selby. keir mather. at 25, he will be the baby of the house, in other words, the youngest mp who will be sitting on the benches of the commons. another win for the liberal

democrats. — commons. another win for the liberal democrats, surely _ commons. another win for the liberal democrats, surely a _ commons. another win for the liberal democrats, surely a boost _ commons. another win for the liberal democrats, surely a boost for - commons. another win for the liberal democrats, surely a boost for them? | democrats, surely a boost for them? a huge boost. the lib dems winner, sarah dyke overturning the majority of 19,000 which is now a majority of 10,000 for liberal democrats. they campaigned hard. the lib dems leader ed davey was in the constituency six times. it was widely anticipated but what was surprising was at the count, they claimed victory early, before midnight. they said things like they had not only won but romped home and the conservative vote was in freefall. the conservatives there were more subdued. they were saying they felt the defeat was down to things like a difficult national picture and circumstances around this

by—election which is the resignation of david warburton who faced allegations of sexual misconduct he denies. that investigation into those allegations, it emerged this weekend that had been dropped. studio: thanks. we have correspondence in each key by—election to constituency. —— correspondeds. nick eardley is in uxbridge. one issue came up a lot here. it was the ability to drive your car. the

low emission zone in london where you have to pay a fee every time you move your car. every you move your car, if it is not eco—friendly, that dominated the conservative campaign. they made it and centre. the message we were getting from the new mp for uxbridge, steve tuckwell, the conservative, is that he thinks it was the ulez issue that was the one that got him over the line. it softens the blow overnight for the conservatives, but i do not think we should necessarily see it in the same way as we see the broader political picture in the uk. what is your assessment overall of what has transpired overnight? there will be claim and counterclaim throughout the morning, each party giving their assessment of what these figures mean. what do you make of it? the picture this morning is more complicated than i think a lot of people expected it to be.

a lot of people thought rishi sunak would be the first prime minister in 50 years to lose three by—elections in one day, so he will look at the result here and every time you hear conservatives over the next days, they will point to uxbridge to say things are not as bad as they look. i think they probably are. if you look at places like selby, where labour were not even prioritising for the general election before today, that is a colossal majority to lose to labour. that will be really worrying for senior tories. somerton and frome, that is a part of the country where the conservatives had a colossal majority, winning by a country mile in 2019. so results like that will really worry the prime minister. i think the broad picture politically is still one that suggests conservatives are shedding constituencies they won comfortably in 2019.

rishi sunak, although he might have stabilised government a bit — we are not covering scandals every morning like maybe we were this time last year, but he has failed to change the political weather. in that sense, it is a thumping for the conservative party. nick eardley in uxbridge. with his assessment where we are politically. we will talk to politically. we will talk to political editor chris mason later. now we can get the rest of the main stories. the former ukip leader nigel farage says he will continue to push for answers about why his bank account was closed, after revieving an apology from the chief executive of natwest. hannah's here with the latest on this dispute. it is not very straightforward. not at all.

this is a story about nigel farage and his bank, which has now developed to have consequences for consumers across the country. it all started when nigel farage called out his bank publicly for closing his account, saying he'd been given no reason. he went on to ask them to hand over documents relating to the decision — when they came back, the documents described the former brexit party leader, among other things, as holding 'xenophobic, chauvinistic and racist views'. the bank in question, coutts, is owned by natwest group. its head has now apologised to mr farage, describing the comments as 'deeply inappropriate' and saying that they don't reflect the company's view. nigel farage welcomed the apology but added that the boss, dame alison rose, should now be questioned by mps. it is always good to get an apology, particularly from somebody running a bank with 19 million customers, so thank you for the apology. but it does feel ever so slightly forced. the treasury made her do this, i have no doubt about that. i do want to say that the rapid

reaction we've had from the british government is superb. full marks to andrew griffith, the city minister. it also felt a bit like 'not me, guv'. the apology from dame alison came after the government also got involved — it announced new plans to force all banks to explain account closures. dame alison said that as well as apologising to mr farage, she is "commissioning a full review of the coutts' processes" — and there are reports that other customers are now starting to ask what information the bank holds about them. the united states has confirmed that ukraine is using us cluster bombs against russian forces in the country. the white house said feedback suggested they were proving effective against russian defensive positions. cluster bombs scatter multiple bomblets and are banned by more than 100 states due to their threat to civilians. senior doctors in england will walk out for a second day as part

here, it is all change? very changeable here. to the north of the jet stream, where we are, whereas in south europe they are stuck under high pressure to the south of the jet stream. the weather is blocked, blocked heat in the south but here, blocked, unsettled low pressure. changeable. we have some blue sky and sunshine today but sunny intervals with scattered showers. during the weekend, things are turning wet and windy. rain for many particularly on saturday. this morning, sunny spells in the south and central scotland. cloudy in northern england, wales, northern ireland, and it is here we will see the bulk of the showers. sunshine in the bulk of the showers. sunshine in the west of scotland, southern england. it is not too windy, the breeze picking up later.

temperatures 1a—20, below par for this stage injuly. this evening, rain moved eastwards, across southern scotland, northern england, wales. eitherside, clearskies. in the north of scotland we see the coldest conditions, down into mid to single figures for some. tomorrow, low pressure moves in. the wind rotates around it. windy conditions with gales rotates around it. windy conditions with gates in the south—west of england. turning windy across england. turning windy across england and wales. the rain drifts eastwards and by the afternoon, some of the rain heavy, especially in the west. northern scotland seeing the best of any bright weather. it might stay dry for a good part of the day in the south—east but eventually we will see the wet weather rolling through and temperature is not great.

overshadowed by borisjohnson, although the tories wanted to focus on the expansion of london's ultra low emission zone, being championed by labour mayor sadiq khan. sources within the labour party admitted after polls closed that the controversial measure played a sizeable role in the election, and came up frequently on the doorsteps. a new campaign calling on men to challenge misogynistic comments and behaviour is being launched by city hall. research by the mayor's office found two in three men in the capital wanted to intervene in situations, but didn't know what to say, with one in four men under 35 regretting not calling out a friend orfamily member for their behaviour. passengers are being warned to check before they travel, with a week of industrial action affecting the capital's transport network. strike action by the rmt, aslef and the unite unions will mean there will be little or no tube service from sunday for six days. and on the trains, national rail

temperatures getting down to ten or 11 degrees out of town. the breeze beginning to present through saturday morning. although saturday will start off dry and fine, it won't end that way, with some wet and windy weather arriving. on sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers. not a great weekend, it has to be said. any sign of improvement? only briefly. it remains very disturbed through next week. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website, including more on the result of the uxbridge by—election, and how marks & spencer's plans to bulldoze and rubuild it oxford street store have been rejected by the government. have been rejected now it's back to ben and naga. goodbye. hello, good morning. this is breakfast. a pensionerfrom breakfast. a pensioner from northumberland breakfast. a pensionerfrom northumberland accused of murdering her right mind his terminally ill

the three judges are expected to tell him whether or not he is guilty of premeditated murder, and whether or not he will spend the rest of his life back in that prison cell. he said it was a crime of love and mercy. his friends back home in northumberland support him, no matter what. i first met davey in the early '80s when i started down the pits. and it's a scary place. you felt confident around him. you couldn't say a gentleman — he was more than a gentleman. he's the type of lad he would help you. | he was always there for you. he was like a father figure to a lot of people. this is the david hunter they know. who looks beautiful? you do, don't you? the former miner who was caring and kind. wonderful. absolutely wonderful. the husband who fulfilled his wife's wishes. to live their dream retirement in cyprus. beautiful paphos sunset. they appeared happy. but janice was suffering. she had blood cancer. 50 david killed her and tried

to take his own life. daddy, just concentrate on me. the moments afterwards were captured on an emotional video call to his daughter back in the uk. daddy, you love me, you know you do. i'm yourgirl. he said she was in agony, she was in absolute agony. dad was making nappies for her out of towels. she had frequent accidents. my dad was carrying her into the shower and cleaning her up. he said, you know, she hated that kind of loss of dignity, that just... — she hated it, it destroyed her. you know, she'd be crying as he cleaned her, saying, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. are you enjoying your breakfast? brunch. david hunter said it was her decision that she wanted to die. she begged him to do it. so why was he on trial for murder? under the cypriot criminal code, there is an offence of assisting suicide. as far as i know — and i've asked lots of lawyers in cyprus — it's never been used before.

for whatever reason, the attorney general decided not to go down that path. but, in english law, if you're put on trial for murder, there is a defence of assisting suicide. that update to the criminal system hasn't been put in place in cyprus. the prosecution say this wasn't assisted suicide because there was no proof that janice asked david to help her die. if she was about, let's say, to use some pills and mr hunter would give her the pills, then he will face a count of assisted suicide. he did it because of selfish motives. it's himself he was taking care of. back in northumberland, the view is very different. 60,80,100. times are hard. another £180 towards davey�*s fund. it's absolutely amazing. but david's minding friends are collecting cash to support him in any way they can.

if he's found guilty of murder, it willjust be a total, total injustice. we just carry on to the next stage. i'm not the barrister, but i'm sure there will be an appeal. and if that appeal needs funding, then i'll, you know, i'll move heaven and earth to get the funds. fight on. keep chipping away. we'll have to. we can'tjust leave him across there. he needs to come back where he's loved. if davey was found not guilty, i think proper. justice has been found. what people seem to miss is that davey fell in love with janice - the first time he had met her, | and he actually didn't lose that spark all the way - through the 57 years. he doted onjanice, - absolutely doted on her. he's done it out of pure love. if the three judges were here now and could hear me, i would say to them, you know, we respect your culture and we respect your laws and we are truly grateful to cyprus

for giving my parents a wonderful retirement. but please, please, please show my family, my dad, some compassion, because he is a good, good man and he isn't a risk to anyone. please don't allow him to spend his last few years in a prison alone. please allow him to come back to his family and we'll be for ever in your debt. you can't begin to know how grateful we will be to you. janice hunter was at the centre of his world, a world that's now unrecognisable from the time they met. how it looks in the future now rests with the judges. fiona trott, bbc news, paphos. i saw david hunter's daughter lesley in that report. we have spoken to her. she speaks to her dad almost

every day and said he was feeling quite tired of the past couple of days. he says he is ok. he is keeping his chin up, but he knows that he is already anxious about the day. he is preparing for the worst, she says. as for herself, it's a very stressful time. she is tired, physically. she feels exhausted. she is worn out. if the judges today decide that david hunter is guilty of murder, his defence team have already indicated that they will lodge an appeal. they have to do that in the next ten days. if it is found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter, they will be fighting for a shorter sentence. as far as the family are concerned, this long road to justice, far as the family are concerned, this long road tojustice, which has already taken over a year and a half, may continue long after the judgment we are expecting here today. fiona, thank you so much. fiona, thank you so much.

fiona trott in paphos. let's get the latest sport. hugh is at old trafford. earlier he was nearly washed away. there was quite a lot of rain. 50 he has taken cover. good morning. i'll tell you what, are they going to let you press the start button on that machine? not in a million years! hello. welcome back. a piece of kit you will be seeing a lot of today. one fears. although the rain that is supposed to be arriving now is holding off to a certain degree. this is a super stopper, because it stops up all the water from the outfield, and it dumps it down a drain. i have been given permission to sit on it by the head groundsman. he says i can touch anything i want because i can't break it. i'll be honest, i am because i can't break it. i'll be honest, iam not because i can't break it. i'll be honest, i am not going to take that risk. i am going to step down gingerly and in an ungainly manner and speak to alex harvey, who is

tournament. will the england captain be fit enough to start that opening match? i think when you are surrounded by the best people, i was very confident in my recovery. yeah, i have been given absolutely everything that i needed to be in this position that i am in. i am grateful that i am able to play. but yeah, just super excited to be here. they are targeting a deep run in australia. they want to win the world cup. and key to that of course is going to be the form of arguably the most important player, keira walsh, one of the best holding midfielders in the world. she is key to how england play. i have been talking to her ahead of the opening game. it is her second world cup. i have asked what it is like coming into the tournament as european champion. indie into the tournament as european chamion. ~ .., ., ~ into the tournament as european chamion_ . .,~' . champion. we can take confidence from it and — champion. we can take confidence from it and draw— champion. we can take confidence from it and draw from _ champion. we can take confidence from it and draw from the - champion. we can take confidence l from it and draw from the expense. it is a _ from it and draw from the expense. it is a different tournament. we have _ it is a different tournament. we have new — it is a different tournament. we have new focuses. but ultimately the dream _ have new focuses. but ultimately the dream is _ have new focuses. but ultimately the dream is to _ have new focuses. but ultimately the dream is to come here and to try to win it _ dream is to come here and to try to win it we _ dream is to come here and to try to win it. we have a lot of work to do before _ win it. we have a lot of work to do before that — win it. we have a lot of work to do before that as possible. if

penalty, christine sinclair missing the opportunity to become the first woman to score at six world cups. there were goals in the other game today. that was in dunedin. switzerland beat philippines by 2—0. it is raining again here at old trafford, which means that i can give myself a break, maybe find some cover, or even an umbrella. then croucher may be getting the same weather in hoylake for round two of the open. the gulf is well under way here on the second day of the open championship. —— the gulf. the first of the players on the aid. wrapped up of the players on the aid. wrapped up against the elements because it is a biting, bracing day. it might

let's look at the rain we are expecting to accumulate between today and the end of monday. you can see the blue colours eventually flooding across most of the map. not too much rain for north—west scotland. northern england will see some soggy weather. this morning we have an area of cloud through the central swathe of the uk. some showers coming and going. showers building across parts of eastern scotland. a rain working on. patchy rain for northern ireland later. so rain for northern ireland later. 50 near intervals in parts of southern england. you could catch an afternoon shower and some sunshine still holding on across the west of scotland. iii still holding on across the west of scotland. 1a to 20 degrees today. below average for the time of the year. we have got reasonably light winds. it won't feel too bad when you see the sunshine. for hoylake and old trafford, the chance of some showers. coming and going, brightening up in the afternoon. many places dry into the evening. rain across northern ireland. tonight that spreads its way

eastwards, across southern scotland, north midlands, wales as well. either side of that rain clearer skies. chile across parts of scotland with temperatures getting down into mid single figures. tomorrow's weather may start dry for some of us but during the day this area of low pressure pushes its way in from the west. the winds picking up. a in from the west. the winds picking up- a 5°99y in from the west. the winds picking up. a soggy story. not too many showers for sunday. thank you. it looks pretty miserable this weekend. what was the word used area? dicey. coming up to ten minutes to nine. let's return to the by—election results. a mixed night for the conservatives, which lost two seats. in the last few minutes we have heard from the prime minister, rishi sunak, who has travelled to south rice lake this morning following his party's when overnight.— party's when overnight. prime minister. _ party's when overnight. prime minister. you _ party's when overnight. prime minister, you are _ party's when overnight. prime minister, you are lies - party's when overnight. prime minister, you are lies has - party's when overnight. prime i minister, you are lies has helped you win here. but in other parts of the country, where you do well in 2019, you have an absolutely
